• A. 1947

• C. 1949
• D. 1950

Answer: (B)

This question asks you to identify the year that matches the higher membership figure, showing growth from the previous year. The numbers given indicate that 238,269 members were in 1947, and the next year, 1948, saw 260,300 members. The jump to the larger figure happened in 1948, which is also the year described as needing a folding-cot hotel in the basement of the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City due to the crowded attendance. The increase is 260,300 minus 238,269, which is 22,031 more members. So, the year is 1948.
